Administrators at a California high school sent five students home on Wednesday after they refused to remove their American flag T-shirts and bandannas – garments the school officials deemed “incendiary” on Cinco de Mayo.

The actions taken seem to me like a blatant violation of the students’ First Amendment right to free speech.

After hearing about this story, I’m seriously pissed off to no end. Why is it ok for everyone but “white Americans” to be proud of their heritage? To me that’s just racist.
